A rare run of racecourse-front homes in Hendra has attracted a buyer waiting list, driven by tightly held supply and direct views across Eagle Farm Racecourse.
A Rare Racecourse Boundary In Hendra
Mein Street in Hendra is described as one of the only streets in Australia where freestanding homes sit directly on the boundary of a major metropolitan racecourse. About 20 homes sit along the stretch between the 1200m and 1400m start points of the Eagle Farm track.
The positioning is unusual for metropolitan racecourses, which are more commonly bordered by commercial buildings, stables, or infrastructure rather than residential homes.
Record Land Sale Points To Scarcity
A recently sold 850sqm parcel achieved $3.8 million, reported as a suburb land sale record for Hendra. The sale was made to Eagle Farm trainer Caitlin Hoysted and her husband Matt.
Market commentary linked the result to the limited supply and the difficulty of replicating the street’s outlook and location.
Micro-Market Draws Highly Specific Buyers
Agents have described Mein Street as a micro-market that has outperformed the broader Hendra market. Buyer interest has been characterised as narrow and location-specific, with some prospective purchasers focused solely on the racecourse frontage.
98 Mein Street Listing Highlights The Appeal
A neighbouring property at 98 Mein Street, Hendra is being marketed by Place Ascot’s Jill Wright-Wotton. The home is owned by interior designer Tonya Scheiwe of Style Elements Interiors and her husband Stu Balding.
The pair have recently completed the residence and are building on the block directly next door, while describing the street as a social community with race-day gatherings.
Location Links To Nearby Precincts
The property description also notes the home’s position within Hendra, with access to Racecourse Road and Portside and walking distance to Doomben and Eagle Farm racecourses. The CBD is described as about 8km away, with access via bus or train.
